A work associate told me yesterday that I have a great laugh, although it's somewhat mischievous. This made me think about my father who loved to tell stories and laughed with his whole body. He had a terrific sense of humor and his laugh was very contagious. I miss him every day!

After work yesterday, I came home and made aprons for dads. My sewing machine was acting up so it took me much longer to finish the aprons than I expected, but I'm pleased with the finished product.

Today I'm creating burp cloths, I hope. Work keeps getting in the way of my crafting, which is another reason I should have started sewing sooner for this weekend's craft show. I have to finish sewing today so I can look at the tin jewelry I have available and make more, as needed.

About Me

I live in Houston with my sweet husband and smallish fluffy dog. As an adult, I've raised two daughters and enjoyed a successful career in marketing communications as a consultant and copywriter. Alas, my daughters don't need me to mother them anymore and it seems some think I'm over the hill and no longer beneficial in my field. HA! Fortunately, I still have lots of creative thoughts and ideas, so I've established a second career as a craftsperson who sews purses, totes, aprons, pillows, t-shirt quilts, etc. from antique, vintage and reclaimed fabrics and trims. I also enjoy upcycling old tin canisters into jewelry. And since I became a first-time grandmother in August 2014, I enjoy making baby blankets, quilts, burp cloths, etc. I started this blog to encourage myself to create at least one item every day, whether it's something sewn, upcycled or marketing related. Why? Because I AM RELEVANT!
